  1. A Senior Priest says:

    Utterly as expected. One-dimensional totally unimaginative thinking, and therefore boring. More Pelagian-Arian theology. Although writing that just now it occurred to me that Pelagius and Arius would probably be horrified to be linked with Mrs Schori.

  2. Stefano says:

    Very Funny “Senior Priest”! I’m curious about the meme she keeps repeating “…you are my beloved in whom I am well pleased”. She used that as a meditation when she met the clergy and people of the Diocese of Albany. Some of my friends who were there thought it a little strange and here it is again.

    It is odd how she can’t even say, You are [i]my son[/i], the beloved.” If you are going to quote scripture as a weird mantra, at least quote what God said correctly.

    RE: “the meme she keeps repeating . . . ”

    Honestly, I think she did sort of a stock little sermonette that all of her lib friends told her was Absolutely Awesome and, like, way contemplative and sorta Easterny meditationish-like, and she’s proudly wheeled it around TECusa quoting herself ever since.

    If I cared about her credibility I’d be horribly embarrassed for her, but blessedly, I prefer that her credibility — and reputation for substancelessness — continue to take the massive hits that they have around the globe.

    So, save for the tedium for her present-day audiences, it’s all good. I’d be distressed if she were anything other than vacuous and preening.
